There should be a federal law that no greater than 2.5% of flyers have airport lounge access, unless the flier lettered multiple years in a contact sport
The lounges have turned into glorified hobo encampments
Now I dont feel so bad when I see a 14U player standing in the outfield staring directly into the sun with his $175 sunglasses resting comfortably on his head
@CoachBeede My son is the lowest velo guy of his 14U peer group. Consistently looked past b/c of it. Yet he leads the org (3 teams) in wOBA, ERA, WHIP, Batting Average Against, & Batting Average on Balls in Play. Just gets guys out all day. FB runs hard & 2 solid off-speed offerings.
@CoachBeede Obviously merit would be dependent on grades, etc but if you have an academic record to get into elite academic D3 schools, what % of costs would you expect merit to meet? Presuming you’d get $0 on the need side.
@coachswarmka@CoachBeede I think any impact to EV will be minimal. I do think you are correct that it will help with barrel control for those that can’t quite control the -3 and thus lead to more consistent contact across lineups
@RoyaltyNKY@KyleChisholm_10@CoachEScho Unless the BBCOR standard itself changes, a -5 BBCOR will not produce anywhere near the same EV as a -5 USSSA bat. (Presuming same length and swing speed)
@KyleChisholm_10@RoyaltyNKY@CoachEScho The increase in bat speed that would come with the -6 would not be enough to generate substantially more exit velo v/s the -3 though. People are acting like guys are going to add 12-15 MPH in bat speed which simply isnt true.
@drivelinekyle If it’s the same bat standard, the -3 will generate more EV than a -5 even with a slightly slower bat speed. There is no safety issue here.
